Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Program in Tamil Nadu is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) funding opportunity focused on improving reception and essential services for Sri Lankan refugees living in Tamil Nadu, India. The program was created in response to increased refugee arrivals beginning in 2006, which placed heavy pressure on camp infrastructure and existing support systems. PRM is offering a limited pool of funds to strengthen the overall quality of care in camps and to reinforce local capacity so the system is better prepared for future influxes.
Funding is intended for practical, service-oriented projects that complement assistance already being provided to Sri Lankan refugees. Priority areas include improving reception facilities at the Mandapam Transit Facility, upgrading camp water and sanitation systems, and strengthening camp shelter conditions. Proposals are expected to address real infrastructure and service gaps in these sectors, with the overall goal of improving living conditions, safety, hygiene, and the ability of reception mechanisms to function effectively during new arrivals.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be awarded through a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is refugee assistance, and it is linked to CFDA number 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible.
Eligible applicants include (1) U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. Submissions from international organizations are noted as subject to PRM authorities and procedures that apply to voluntary contributions to international organizations, which can affect how funding is processed and administered.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on December 17, 2008, with an application deadline of January 15, 2009, by 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
